Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Arguably the element of the Harry Potter books and films that most lends itself to a video game, Quidditch is a strange sport, and initially seems quite complicated. However, in the new game Quidditch World Cup, it's both fun to play and a good choice for all the family. It's also more straightforward than you'd think. Much thought has clearly gone into providing a gentle learning curve, and picking up the basics of the game is supremely easy. It's helped, of course, by having familiar faces from the Harry Potter world all along the way, guiding you through what you need to know. The ultimate aim is to walk away with the prize of the game's title, but first there's the small matter of the Hogwart's tournament to win. You align yourself with one of the four houses, and seek to win that before you can move on to the international stages. And that promptly gets you into the heart of the action. The gameplay, as you'd expect, is frantic and exciting, and while it's not going to keep the older gamer occupied for too long, its target audience is clearly going to be in its element. To keep things going that bit longer, you can earn Quidditch cards as you progress. These are rewards given to you along the way, and can unlock fresh elements of the game. With plenty to collect, it's an added feature that helps prolong the game's lifespan. Quidditch World Cup is a game with obvious appeal to the many legions of Harry Potter fans. Fortunately for parents the world over, thanks to entertaining gameplay and its faithfulness to the source material, it's not going to disappoint them. --Simon Brew Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Repetive funThis was a present for my wife, but I think I have played it more. A must have if you are a Harry fan. Good fun for sports games fan, general good action fun. I think it is out on all platforms, but the 'Cube version is a lot of fun (I don't know what the others are like). Rating: - This game is good but has room for improvementWhen I heard that this game was coming out in stores, I saved up my money and bought it instantly. When I got back to my gamecube, I started to play it instantly. It has a very learning stage (with the hogwarts teams). Here is my list of pros and cons- Pros- Easy to play Loads of teams Four different brooms You can play with bulgaria and the Hogwarts Teams Cons- Slightly to easy It doesnt have Ireland Even on the hardest setting its not harder enough Rating:  - add one if you love HP , minus one if your impartialdont get me wrong this game is lots of fun with very few problems only non-harry potter fans are not gonna go through this game for 2 mins without all the hairs on the back of their head standing on end. the game itself is fun and can produce some fun finger bitingly close contests as you urge your character to just catch that snitch! lots of thought has gone into the design of all the different countries and their quidditch teams and stadiums. plus +fun and frantic and hard competition on the hardest level +real voice actors from the movies and lots of well known faces +well made learning curve +quidditch cards to collect minus -basic graphics -too slow! -not enough ... Read More: Rating: - EA - Heros or Zeros?I LOVE EA. It's true - I want to marry them. Although some hate them (with a passion)I think they're master game makers. They forged LOTR with excellence and crafted Nightfire with brilliance. And this is no exception - the gameplay is fantastic, addictive, and great to play. Although the graphics aren't pefect, the moment you get your head around the passing you wont put your controller down for weeks. You can play as nine different countries (including Bulgaria but you have to unlock them first) and although I don't think you can play as Ireland (you might get it after unlocking Bulgaria but I'm not sure) it's still great. But I do admit it would be REALLY dumb for them to forget Ireland, unless they inlcude them in a sequel. Merry gameplaying! Rating: - Quiditch World CupThis game is fun and a good laugh with friends but the novelty is lost on anyone who has not read the Harry Potter books. I have only played the game on Japanese import and so found it diffict to master but fun all the same. |
